At this point I have the choice to refinance property #1 with a lower interest rate and I have the two properties separate of each other.  

Brandon and Josh always say, you can usually find a pretty cash flow-friendly area within two hours of any major city.)Lastly, try joining your HOA board, lay low for a while and learn, then see what you can do about lowering HOA fees.

Or who has been on the other side of the transaction representing buyers of fixers?

My thought is lower cashflow is ok because I could save that $8,000 finance and buy one or two more properties and then if those are also cashflowing then I am even further ahead. 

You cant get the numbers to work because those units should be priced much lower.  

When you are the sole agent in a transaction, you end up doing work for both sides because there are so many details that have to happen to get to closing.  

I am an aspiring RE investor with zero transactions under my belt.  

Canesha:Some class C properties are adjacent to some lower income areas.

Hey everyone, I am new to the Bigger Pockets forums and have a question regarding a potential transaction.

I plan to negotiate the price lower once I prove I have the means to purchase since they told me they are having a hard time finding someone with $40k for the first installment.
